May not cause you an issue, but if you notice fuel pressure dropping with the boost turned up check those first.
Then again, I'm not positive that's the fuel tanks, so if not................... never mind.  Maybe they're oil tanks for the turbos, not using engine oil to feed?

Same here I just wish I had more time to chat. When your chasing a problem it take 10x more effort than when you get to talk about it in retro speck.
The fuel 90's on the bottom are the cross over for the gas to get from the left side to the right side when your driving. By keeping the gas split up it reduces the centrifugal force generated by your gas hitting the side of the tank. This way your fuel's weight will have an impact on both sides of your center line and offer less migration of the CG when driving. Since all your suspension reacts in relation to the CG this will help make for a smoother transitions when driving..... in theory, lol.
Cool thing about the turbos being in the back when we were on the dyno the turbos were staying right around 400 degrees. The EGT was in the 800-1000 (i have lots of spark to find) depending on where we were in the RPM's and the ITA temps were only +15 to +20 over ambient because of all the cooling happening on the air from front to back. And that was on a dyno so we didn't have any air moving around the car offering more cooling to the system.

Looks like it should be a lot of fun.
The yellow frame really grew on me. I like the use of red also.
If it was me I think I'd like the wheels a dark grey color.

I'm crazy happy with the Pfadt shocks. I've got about 40 miles on it now shaking down the chassis and chasing loose nuts and bolts and getting all my sensors working and calibrated. I've been driving with then on 4 and 3 and the ride is really smooth. They go up to 16 and the front and rear have there own valve patterns. Steering is a little tough right now but that's because our power steering pump was leaking and we were trying to find the culprit. Haven't got to throw it around yet. I'm still getting back to work on my customers projects. Everything stopped here a month before SEMA including the cash flow, lol. So that takes a little priority right now but I have an auto cross the first weekend of December I want to be at, hehe.
The yellow rocks !!!!!
Like you said, it goes with the green really well. I've got some black I think I'm going to mix with the Gray I have left and see what comes out.
I'm working on the video so look for it tomorrow.
